1) if you manage your network connections using something other than Network Manager and still have Network Manager running,

2) or your Network Manager installation is broken
... in which case, your solution is to potentially screw up my entire network connection.

I'm not a geek, although I'm not entirely averse to some CLI action. I do expect software to do what it claims to do - in this case, connect to a site to download parts of it. Spending time fiddling with a connection I need in order to make money isn't something I'm prepared to do.

Neither of those are bugs in calibre. They are bugs in your installation.
I have a vanilla Linux Mint installation on Lenovo hardware - I'm not coder, I haven't touched it. Linux Mint is one of the most popular distros, and Lenovo make an awful lot of computers. Calibre doesn't do what it's meant to do for an awful lot of users. I though freeware developers had got past the 'it's the user's fault' stage about 10 years ago. Apparently not all of them have. If you want to claim your software can do a specific thing, it's your job to make it do that thing.
